Why would the leaves on my Prince of Orange be curling like this? It has been like this since it was shipped to me a month ago… I thought it may be due to stress, but it’s not straightening.

They actually tend to have wavier leaves than other self heading philodendron varieties. I have a tiny starter plant that has the same thing happening. At first I thought maybe he wasn't getting enough light, so I contacted the nursery where I got him from and they confirmed that it's normal for them to have some degree of wave to the leaf edges.

Thank you for the info. I appreciate it!

Looks almost like it was turning to grow facing the light. Is the light source above it or next?

Sorry, I just saw your message. The light source is above. That one leaf is crazy! It has been growing straight up like that since I got the plant.
